how the hell can you expect spark plugs to lower intake air temp?

LOL for some reason I was completely thinking of a dual pass endplate + option B lol I'm not sure why lol maybe i'm tired... I've been at work since Monday 5 am till now (massive snow in DC) on 2 -3 hours of sleep! (at least im getting 60+ hours of over time haha).... to the OP my apologies I let the lack of sleep get the best of me haha but yea spark plugs are used to ignite the air/fuel mixture basically under any condition in the combustion chamber; they can be used to increase vehicles performance (electrical and thermal). I think the sweet spot for gapping them in our cars is .032 to .035 depending on your setup....
